Traditional Lithuanian cooking defaults to Gerai iškeptas (well done). Vilnius steakhouses have adopted international rare/medium terminology; the 'Su krauju' (with blood) formulation is traditional but now sounds old-fashioned in modern restaurants.

Doneness terminology varies by country and restaurant. When unsure, describe what you want (e.g., “warm red center”).
